Daith Piercing Ring: Clickers, Horseshoes, and Jewelry Rings for the Inner Ear Fold
A Daith Piercing Ring is easy to twist and gives you a playful or subtle look depending on how you position it.
Daith Piercing Ring at PiercingXXL: our selection
Discover our beautiful selection of over 660 models for your new Daith piercing ring, where a part of the collection is crafted from titanium. You can choose between a practical hinged clicker ring or a bendable ring in the elegant metal colors silver, gold, rose gold, or black. To add some sparkle to your look, many designs are decorated with zirconia stones in a clear crystal color.
Shapes and Closures for the Daith Piercing Ring
The daith sits in the innermost cartilage fold directly above the ear canal. The piercing channel runs slightly diagonally there, which is why a round Daith Piercing Ring is the classic choice: it follows the curve of the fold and hugs the cartilage closely. The most common type we offer is the clicker, a hinged ring that can be opened and closed with a simple push of a finger. Especially in this hard-to-reach area, this is a real advantage because you don't have to thread a ball. You can also find a large selection of these among our Clicker Piercing models.
Bendable rings are adjusted by hand, while captive bead rings hold a ball under tension. If you prefer an open look, go for a horseshoe with two closure balls, which can be easily rotated and looks either playful or subtle depending on its position; you can find more models in the Horseshoe Piercing category. In addition, there are 3D rings and special shapes like D-rings, which form a more striking finish at the bottom edge.
Material and Sizes for the Daith Piercing Ring
ASTM F136 titanium is nickel-free, lightweight, and well-tolerated – the first choice for sensitive skin. 316L surgical steel is robust and proven for healed piercings. Some of the jewelry rings are made of brass; these models are suitable for a fully healed daith piercing if your skin doesn't react to it. There are also a few rings with a high-quality gold-colored finish and a few made of acrylic.
The most common thickness is 1.2 mm (16G), but there are also 0.8 mm (20G), 1.0 mm (18G), and 1.6 mm (14G). For the inner diameter, 8 mm and 10 mm are the most common, followed by 6 mm and 12 mm. For a Daith Piercing Ring, 8 to 10 mm usually fits best; 8 mm for a smaller ear fold, and 10 mm for a larger one or a looser fit. If in doubt, measure your current jewelry before ordering.
Our Practical Advice
Start with a simple titanium clicker in 1.2 mm and measure which diameter suits you best – after that, you can confidently switch to zirconia rings, horseshoes, or different colors. If you like to mix things up, keep two sizes handy: a snug-fitting Daith Piercing Ring for everyday wear and a slightly larger version with more decorative elements for special occasions.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Daith Piercing Ring
What size do I need for a Daith Piercing Ring?
Most people wear a Daith Piercing Ring with a 1.2 mm (16G) thickness and an 8 or 10 mm inner diameter. The size of your ear fold is crucial: the ring should sit freely without pressing or sticking out too far.
Clicker or horseshoe – which is better for the daith?
A clicker is closed, sits snugly, and is the easiest to change. A horseshoe looks more open and can be twisted so the balls are visible or hidden. Both shapes work well; the choice is mainly a matter of your preferred look.
When can I change my Daith Piercing Ring?
Cartilage piercings usually take several months to heal completely. Only change it when the piercing channel is no longer red or sensitive, and if in doubt, have a professional piercer show you how to do the first change.
Is titanium necessary for a Daith Piercing Ring?
Titanium is nickel-free and therefore highly recommended for sensitive skin and fresh piercings. For a healed daith piercing, surgical steel is equally well-tolerated by many.
Can I wear headphones with a Daith Piercing Ring?
The daith is close to the ear canal, so in-ear headphones can press against it. A snug-fitting 8 mm clicker usually interferes less than a large ring.

HelixRookDaithTragusConchLobeWhere is the daith piercing located?
The daith goes through the innermost cartilage fold directly above the ear canal. It is usually worn with a ring that nestles perfectly into the fold.
How your daith piercing heals
Clean twice a day with sterile saline solution, do not twist the ring.
Keep the initial jewelry in. Avoid using in-ear headphones on this side if possible.
The daith is located in the cartilage and usually takes six to twelve months to heal.
Once everything is calm, you can insert new jewelry – in the same gauge as before.
These times are guidelines; every healing process is different. In case of severe pain, swelling, or pus, please consult your piercing studio or a doctor.
